Desmond do you mind posting this in our promotion thread?

I will delete both these messages in a few days so we can all see our word of the month planning.

Desomnd, did you by any chance work with Peter King when you were there?

Not that I remember, Fiona. What was he doing at that time?
He started in PE in 1975 and moved to JHB a year later. He was involved in outside broadcasts at some stage and also Telecine. He moved to the Video Lab at some stage. I was only born in 78 so can't remember details. I used to go in with him when he fixed cameras on weekends, but that was Video Lab days.
I am done. Without reading the books I planned for this challenge :) Good luck to the rest of you!
Thanks! Yeah, I even surprised myself by doing that. I had some books lined up for this challenge and then realised when I was updating some books I read in the last couple of days that they could be used too.

Toothless is my favourite! All the characters in the How To Train Your Dragon series are just brilliant. I'm listening to the audiobooks and literally can't stop smiling - they're soooo good.
I finished mine on 28 May, but had limited computer access (mine was at the doctor, but he is all better now!!)

I am glad your computer feels better, I hope it wasn't too serious?"
It required a reformat in the end, which is bad because I have to reinstall everything, but good because I can choose what I want installed. I thought I might need to replace the hard drive, so I was happy with this outcome!

Use the books you finish in May to fill out the word, using the first letter of the first word in the title (excluding 'the', 'a' or 'an') or the first letter of the author's name, middle name or surname.
Good luck everyone!
